# KPI filters

## Add a filter

Suppose I have a [KPI](/fastfield/docs/key-performance-indicators-kpi) that measures inspection incidents. I can narrow the KPI to measure the inspection errors to just one inspector by creating a custom filter. To create a new filter, go to the **Edit KPI screen**, then select the filter button at the bottom.

Select the **New Filter** button to begin:

Here I will pick the specific inspector name in the value section to filter by:

Apply your changes and you will be able to sort your KPI by a single inspector. When Eric runs into an inspection issue, you will be notified.
